Well since you are limited to 6x4x3 in dimensions...I think and all wing design is inherently a poor choice.You are really limited in lifting area considering the proposed mission is extended loiter to carry some kind of comm repeater for ground communications.Also the design rules call for vertical takeoff and landing...again not a hortens wing specialty without vertical lift auxiliary moters.I would be tempted to enter this myself except ATT is already fielding uas to create flying cell phone towers in Puerto Rico.Now if the spec allowed for folding prior to deploy....
